How to watch and stream the Cleveland Browns vs. Minnesota Vikings preseason game

We’re back into the swing of things and the Cleveland Browns are preparing for a week of joint practices and a preseason game with the Minnesota Vikings. In the rearview is the 23-10 loss at home to the Green Bay Packers where the Browns played just a couple of starters.

This week against the Vikings, the Browns may choose to go the route of playing the starters primarily in the joint practices, then resting them in the preseason game. That is what they have done in the past, so we will have to see.

Playing against Minnesota is always special to head coach Kevin Stefanski, who came up as an assistant through the Vikings organization before landing the head coaching gig with the Browns in 2020. Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah comes from the Browns, as well.

Cleveland suffered one injury against the Packers and it was Luke Wypler , who will now be sidelined an extended time. The team already made a trade to fill the need left behind , but the whole thing is just an example of why preseason is so dangerous. Sometimes, you lose players in what is a meaningless game at the end of the day.

Buckle up, folks. The NFL regular season is going to be here before we know it. For now, let’s get through some preseason football.
